From Amazon.com

Utilizing his extensive theatrical experience, Martin Jarvis handles the difficult task of narrating Jeffrey Archer's bestseller, The Fourth Estate, quite admirably. As in his extremely popular novel, Kane & Abel, Archer has once again created dual protagonists--in this case, chronicling the parallel lives of two rival media tycoons, each bent on global domination of the newspaper industry. Because of this doubly complex plot device, the narrator must possess a very flexible voice to differentiate not only the two lead characters, but each of their large supporting casts as well. Jarvis tackles the challenge quite capably.

Although the work is billed as fiction, the personalities and events bear a striking resemblance to actual stories seen in headlines. So recognizable, in fact, that lawsuits were filed in an effort to halt publication of Archer's book altogether. Perhaps that can explain his relatively safe, methodical effort here. As usual, he has devised an absorbing and intricate plot, but the story follows the action forward so closely that there is little time allowed for insight into the character's motivations or for philosophical narrative. Still, Archer's considerable talent as a storyteller and the noteworthy performance by the very talented Jarvis make The Fourth Estate a compelling look at the cause and effect of ruthless corporate behavior and provides an intriguing peek behind closed boardroom doors.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Heard the taped version of THE FOURTH ESTATE., Mai 17 2004
Par Blaine Greenfield "eclectic reader" (Belle Meade, NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fourth Estate Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
THE FOURTH ESTATE by Jeffrey Archer (author of KANE & ABEL, one of my favorite novels of all time) . . .this tale again involves two men . . . though from different backgrounds, they stand face-to-face in an attempt to beat each other and control the biggest media empire in the world . . . I was interested in the stories
of their respective childhoods; by the time they reached middle age, however, I had lost interest in what happened to either of them . . . the ending also did little for me.

Par Rockinbald (Sykesville, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Fourth Estate Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is an incredible waste of time. Two amoral main characters do not make for an interesting read. Archer goes on at imponderable length to describe the lives of these two slugs passing as kings of the publishing industry. Do not waste your time or money reading this pile of crap.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A Novel of Deception and Greed, Sep 25 2003
Par Dr. W. G. Covington, Jr. (Edinboro, Pennsylvania) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fourth Estate Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
The backdrop for this novel is the greed for power and money found in the world of mass media conglomerates. It seems the primary motivation of the characters is greed and a lust for more whether its power or prestige. I'm not convinced that this book makes anyone think any original thoughts. It seems to be a basic plot that was not that difficult to originate.
